Sounds like hard cope and a touch of butthurt that OG won. I'm no OG fan but they were clearly miles ahead of anyone strategically and I doubt the supposed adderall could augment it that much.

On the podcast all of them agreed that adderall or not, only very few would be able to play that well even on adderall and OG deserve credit for the amazing Dota.
The underlying message was a call for clear rules for the future, because now everybody will be doing it and Valve might change their stance on this in the middle of the season.

Ok I'm salty about OG winning but doping accusations? That's low.

Thinking about anti-doping in esports is interesting.

Bringing in any serious anti-doping agency to regulate drug use would be a nightmare I think. Trying to do out-of-competition tests on people who live all over the planet would be complicated and expensive. In-competition-tests will occasionally cause teams to have to put in replacements or drop out of tournaments entirely because a teammate gets flagged for drug use.

Fans probably wouldn't be very happy to see players occasionally get multi-year bans for using legally prescribed medication. Valve certainly wouldn't be happy if theyr footing the bill for USADA staff or whoever to fly around the planet collecting piss from a bunch of kids.

Hard to imagine drug testing in esports in the near future but I bet itl happen eventually

Doesn't it in csgo?

On another note, can anyone recommend a decent non spying music player for Android. Google play is shit.

VLC maybe?

I guess i should also mention that I don't want to stream songs.
Ma bad.


Also: Tracy Chapman's song subcity is lit and still quite fitting for today.

tbh you should just avoid any google product like android if you're worried about spying which includes chrome, gmail, maps etc

apple does it better in that regard

tldr OG's psychologist is really an adderall fixer

It's been in our staff forum for a while now. I'd guess Julmust is waiting for some actual shuffles to start happening before releasing it (maybe?). Or he just hasn't finished formatting it.

I've never done it, and I most likely won't ever. I'm kind of curious how much it actually helps with gaming/studying/coding or whatever else people use it for. Anyone with experience able to enlighten me?

https://americanaddictioncenters.org/adderall/long-term-effects
apparently just a stimulant but i don't really see how it could help playing dota 2

lmao

i am a recovering addict world expert on this subject what would u like to know

a tl;dr is:

* In controlled doses it's pretty good at helping u grind out a task (lot of homework, grinding ladder) because you're happy to just keep doing a thing for hours. I think its most successful at like "doing problem sets" or "playing the same build on iccup" style tasks.
* I think its impact on making u good at vidya is overstated, generally
* In particular u bump into problems where it causes you to obsess over things you don't need to obsess about (rewrite the same 20-line function 30 times or whatever, over-micro a small engage) especially at higher doses and so I don't think it's like a super-obvious win. I definitely don't think it makes you super-human-great-at-vidya in the way that some people discuss
* it's wildly addictive and it (well, in the worst case it was actually modafinil) almost ruined/ended my life lol
